There will be an army of supporters out for Keith Reveley as he bids to get off the mark in his own right as a trainer. Therefore, Let It Be is the first one to look at for us as we try to track down the winner of the finale. Aston Lad and Spring Breeze are others to keep a close eye on, while Venetian Romance ran well enough in defeat last time to have place claims at this level and is also respected. Aston Lad was put up 5lb for finishing second at Ripon on his penultimate start and should handle the ground today. He is unexposed at the trip and this will open several avenues for him if he goes well tonight. Spring Breeze, on the other hand, has already proved himself over course and distance and is a live danger to them all if the rain stays away. However, Let It Be has been crying out for at least this sort of distance and, as his trainer would like nothing more than to get off the mark at this course, this could be the time to give Let It Be another chance.
